This time in clear resin, and slightly more user friendly w(instructions built in/on)

My rubber band non-mod is still going strong. Total cost is < $1. Still working without issue two years later. No drilling involved. It does take up more space, and it does not work on the less reclined frames, but for Silvio's and Vendetta's it is worth a shot before drilling to see if you...

This one has better smoothed edges, and is slightly less weight.. not that I'm really trying to reduce the weight right now. Rev 6 (for another S30 owner):

I also have one (as well as the suspended S30).. it is goood.

Any chance of a better lit picture from a little farther back? What is the OD of the BB-shell? What kind of mount does your light want? Just a cross-bar? How much space is required between the cross-bar and the base holding it? @benphyr ?

I used an inch outer diameter for the cross-bar. The OD of the curved slider is 44mm. If you tell me what the design constraints are I can probably make a model that any 3d printing shop can make for you that will work better than any of these prototypes!

I've gotten annoyed with how my horn and GPS fit together on the handlebars of my S30, so I created a mount for the curved slider that can fit both in-line on top of slider, and screws into the top bottle-cage holes. This is with the slider curving 'up' (or away from the rider). Fabricated...

I'm just waiting for someone to sue under the ADA. They're inviting a lawsuit for silly reasons. :(

You can use the "InstaMorph" or equivalent thermoplastic to create basically perfect shims and not have to cut off the tabs. It takes all of 10 minutes to do, is 100% reversible, and costs like $10 in materials (which is probably 2-3x more material than you'll need).

If it does end up working, with an SPD-mountain-compatible pedal, I'll end up being a customer.

I made the top half 1-ply, and left the bottom 2-ply by cutting the zipties holding the ventiseat together at the bottom, then sliding the ventiseat down from the top of the seat. Near the small of the back, it transitions from 1->2 ply. Seems to work well. I appreciate the extra padding near...

I've had a tube explode as well, though as a result of rim brakes causing too much thermal expansion. It sounded like an explosion, and scared the bejeeez out of me! Thankfully, this happened 30 or so seconds after the descent was done, so the net result want so bad. Amusingly (?) the failure...

I agree.

Why I don't like the steer-stopper: It prevents the front from any motion. It is good only for parking. That isn't what I want. I want to be able to walk my CruzBike into a building, down the hall, then put it against a pole. I want to never have to remember to do anything when getting on or...

Dang! I hope you're feeling better or at least on that path!

I used a big rubber band on my S30. Works very well, no frame mod/drilling needed.

InstaMorph or any other Polycaprolactone (chemical name for the plastic. Typically comes as pellets you melt together). Here is the one I used, but they're all basically equivalent: https://www.amazon.com/Polly-Plastics-Cosplayers-Hobbyists-Accessories/dp/B00WRWKM6G

Low-temp moldable plastic considered?

I'd say shorter even than 165. Knee clearance with the handlebars is the largest part of it. In particular, it allows you to move the bars more forward (or the crank towards you, same thing different perspective), allowing you to have a wider range of fit options. It also can make it easier to...

I've done it a couple of times, including one fantastic time in the dark in the rain under tree cover on a bicycling trail. Seriously dark. I didn't try to get it wet, and worked. I didn't investigate beyond that. It may have been luck, or it may have been chemistry.
